Lunch had just ended and the class was returning. Aizawa was waiting for them to get seat. Which was odd. Like people should be worried odd. "We're going to holds today's hero training at the USJ," Aizawa stated with a picture popping up behind him. 'Unforeseen Simulation Joint' was what the abbreviation stood for. It didn't mean anything to the up and coming heroes.
"There's a bus waiting outside. I expect you all down and in costume in 10 minutes," Aizawa said exiting the room. Momo took charge of the room immediately.
"Get your home costume and get out single file! No need to rush 10 minutes is pretty generous," Momo commanded standing up from her spot.
That caught most of the class by surprise. Izuku waited for a few people to get done before getting his suitcase. He made sure to watch the class and make sure no one had problems. Izuku's black suit was easy to put on and the metal parts were a snap, quite literally.
Izuku was out first and got to the bus. "Open seating nice; Momo will like that."
The rest of the students caught up in time. "Alright guys single file I've got a seating plan in mind," Momo said to everyone.
"Its open seating, just come in and take a spot," Izuku said waving everyone from a window. Yaoyorozu sighed and just waved everyone on.
The USJ was on campus but like a 10 minute drive from the school. The UA campus was about the size of a small city in scope. "Midoriya-san, your combat suit is growing on me. Its just so manly and useful," Kirishima pointed out smacking Izuku's shoulder.
That cheered Izuku up. "Its a titanium-tungsten composite. Its for the recoil from my quirk," he explained tapping the metal.
"You mean my quirk," Katsuki snarled.
"Its his quirk now. You have your own and he has his," Momo rebutted glaring at him.
"Its still my quirk," Katsuki retorted venom is his voice.
Apparently, Aizawa had heard enough and ended the conversation, "Whether its your or not doesn't matter. You still have your quirk and you're going to develop it differently from his. What matters is that he's here with everyone else trying to become a hero."
The group of students were tense and a tension in the air was made. They unloaded from the bus as soon as they arrived. The group entered the large stadium.
The space hero Thirteen was waiting for them. "Welcome, heroes-in-training! This is the USJ. Here we're going to learn how to apply our quirks to rescue operations," it explained gesturing out to the whole area. Aizawa had asked the space hero about All Might. Izuku noticed he held up three fingers and made some kind of excuse. So All Might used up his limit, Izuku noted.
Uraraka was just fangirling over the space hero. "You must really like, Thirteen?" Izuku asked standing next to her.
"Ya, he's the one that inspired me the most to be a hero. He's just so cool fighting natural disasters and rescuing people!" Uraraka had sparkles in her eyes.
Thirteen rose its voice addressing the whole class again, "Yesterday, you learned how to use your quirks and cooperate towards a single objective. Now today this will be part rescue part restraint. I don't need to remain everyone just how dangerous some of our quirks can be. This is why rescue training is done so we can gauge what and how to use our quirk to help."
A black portal opened in the center of the USJ. A man with hands on his face walked through. Another being of shadow similar to the portal came through as well. Then dozens of villains followed them. The hand villain looked to his portal associate, "Kurogiri, I don't see All Might! He's supposed to be here!"
"A minor setback, Shigaraki-san, we still have some hostages," the portal villain replied.
"A good point. Let's see if a few dead kids will bring him out of hiding!" the insane hand villain shouted.
Aizawa stood at the top of the stairs. "Is this part of the test too?" Iida asked seeing the villains flood in.
"No, those are real villains! Thirteen protect them. Kaminari anything from the outside?" Aizawa asked putting on his googles.
"Nothing, we're getting jammed," The electric teen replied.
"I'll hold them off. We need to get someone out of here and get a message back to UA!" Aizawa shouted before descending the stairs.
"Let me help you," Izuku asked standing at the top of the stairs.
"Protect them, Midoriya!" Aizawa dashed into the courtyard.
The portal villain appeared behind the group. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. We can't have any of you escaping and ruining this execution," his voice was a bit disembodied.
"I'll handle him, run!" Thirteen shouted flipping open its finger. The black hole quirk activated pulling in Kurogiri's wisps but not moving him much. Iida started to bolt along with the rest of the students. Izuku stayed put he was torn between running and assisting. He had the power to do so and felt a need to help.
"What a powerful quirk. To bad you're not used to using it in combat!" Kurogiri made a portal in front of him and behind Thirteen.
Iida was nearly to the door. Portals appeared below some of the slower students. Izuku was watching as all the events unfolded so quickly. The instant Thirteen's black hole came through the portal, Izuku made his own attack. The green-haired teen was on the other side of the portal. Green lightning surged and an explosion was detonated through the portal. Kurogiri was not expecting this. The green blast blew him back and forced him to relocate. Iida, Uraraka, Sato, and Sero were still left among the students.
Thirteen was incapacitated from their quirk. Kurogiri appeared near Izuku. "That's a strong quirk. Nearly got me," Kurogiri stated. The neck brace and his clothes were much worse for wear. The fire from his blast had eaten a dozen or so holes in his clothes. The heat had left his brace uncomfortably hot.
"Then you won't mind if I use it again on you!" Izuku shouted feinting a blast forward. The portal villain tried the same trick on Thirteen. The teen planned ahead for this and directed a psychic bullet through the portal behind him. Despite a low amount of force it still dented the metal brace.
"What was that?" Kurogiri looked to the other student. Iida and Sato were trying to pry the door open. The villain rose one arm.
"You think you can ignore me?" Izuku shouted reaching through the portal behind him. The teen made contact with the metal brace and Kurogiri started to float away. Izuku pulled back his hand just before the portal closed. The teen leveled around explosion at Kurogiri. Now the portal villain was fed up with Izuku. A portal opened below the teen. Izuku touched his face out of reaction. He flew upward getting sucked into a portal anyway.
"What a nuisance," Kurogiri looked to the door and Iida was out of sight. The portal villain grimaced and retreated.
Izuku found himself free falling. Somehow his Force Nullification had been turned off. He was near the roof and falling. Out of instinct he touched his face. The teen floated in the air and examined the situation below.
Todoroki was at the landslide zone and doing fine. Momo, Kaminari, and Jirou were at the mountain zone and being overwhelmed. He couldn't see into the conflagration zone or the ruins zone. Mineta and Asui were at the flood zone. They were about to be villain food. Izuku decided to help them first.
He blasted over to them picking up quite a bit of speed. The teen slammed into the boat feet first. The entire boat rocked from the impact. He released Force Nullification. "Are you guys okay?" Izuku asked looking at a wide-eyed Mineta and Asui.
"We're saved!" the little teen called out hugging Izuku.
"I've got to admit, that was good timing," She sighed in relief.
"I'm going to get both of you out of this. There's no reason for us to pick fights with the villains on their home turf," Izuku reasoned.
"What's the plan?" Asui asked.
"I'll carry both of you out here and drop you off with everyone else," Izuku stated less choice more of the only option. Asui and Mineta nodded.
"Asui-san on my back, Mineta I'll carry," Izuku said kneeling down in front of her. He felt her weight against him. He clasped his hand around her thigh making her weightless. "Hold tight. Asui-san you're weightless right now," he warned standing up. She wrapped her legs and arms around him.
Midoriya smirked looking at Mineta, "I'll say sorry in advance."
"For what-!" Mineta started to ask before Midoriya grabbed him and launched him into the air. He touched his face and used his explosions to intercept the purple teen. Mineta was screaming a bit.
"Like I said sorry!" Midoriya apologized.
- Mountain Zone – After the Portal -
Momo was momentarily disoriented by the portal and sudden change in locale. Kaminari and Jirou were with her. Villains started to circle around. She knew it was her duty to protect her fellow students. She made a steel quarterstaff and took point. Kaminari stood next to her fists raised.
"Can you make a sword?" Jirou asked standing to Momo left. A handle jutted from her side and Jirou took hold of it before pulling. "Alright, I like our odds!" Jirou shouted. The villains seem amused that they thought they could defend themselves. Jokes on them the students could easily defend themselves.
The first wave rushed them. Kaminari zapped anyone that made contact with him. Momo prioritized fighters that used weapons or longer ranged quirks. Jirou was just thrashing anyone that got close enough.
"Kaminari-san, you mentioned something about your full power yesterday," Momo asked striking a villain in the before whipping around the staff and smashing another villain's chest.
"Yeah, 1.3 million volts, but I can't aim it at all! It just explodes from me!" Kaminari replied punching one villain before grabbing a hold on another. Both got fried by his electricity. He was like a living stun gun.
"Okay, I have a plan! Jirou cover me this will take some time!" Momo called out to Jirou who merely nodded.
- Landslide Zone – After the Portal -
This turn out of events had just annoyed Shoto more than anything. The villains he'd run into so far weren't much of a fight. They were weaklings as far as Shoto was concerned. His goal had become 'find out what they're here for'. So far most of the villains were just idiots. Granted he wasn't giving them much opportunity to talk before leaving them a villicle.
"Okay, talk or I'll make sure frostbite sets in," Shoto threatened another block of a villain. He didn't want to hurt the villain but they had made their life choices so they have to deal with a little frostbite if they aren't going to cooperate.
"Alright, alright, kid, I'll talk!" he replied panicking.
"Good. Then why are you guys here?" Shoto questioned staring down the villain.
"We were promised revenge! We all want to kill All Might!" the villain shouted. This was all Shoto needed. He completed the ice block making sure not to give the man frostbite.
His next destination was the courtyard where the hand villain was at.
- Ruins Zone – After the Portal -
Katsuki loved to fight and the villains didn't get it through their thick skulls that they were outclassed. Kirishima was with him and proving his usefulness. The blonde teen was relentless. It was cathartic letting loose.
"What do you think these guys are after?" Kirishima asked pounding a guy through a wall.
"Does it matter?! We get to crack some skulls and its all in defense," Katsuki grinning blowing up a villain sending them through a wall.
"Its probably a good idea to know what they're after. You might miss the important fight," Kirishima reasoned blocking a strike effortlessly.
Katsuki growled the red-haired teen was right. He could spend all day blowing these guys up and getting nowhere. First he had to find a villain that looked half way intelligent and hopefully a coward.
No sooner had he thought that did one such opportunity present itself. The villain had been matching the two students obliterate the other villains and realize it was kind of pointless to fight them.
Katsuki had pinned the person to the ground and had a palm inches from his face, "Why are you here?"
"W-we're h-here to k-kill All Might! Please don't hurt me!" the villain pleaded. Katsuki nodded and then punched the villain in the face. Hard enough to knock the villain out instantly.
"You hear that? Let's go visit that handy bastard," Katsuki declared earning a nod from Kirishima.
- Downpour Zone – After the Portal -
Tokoyami was not having the time of his live. It was raining sideways, diagonal ways, up sometimes, and down more or less all the time and randomly. KO-ing villains via sneak attacks or outright overpowering them was dreary, but it seemed like there was always more. The wind didn't make the downpour zone any funner. Koda had been ported with him and proved to be a valuable ally.
At this point he just wanted to get somewhere and get some cover. He was soaked through and through. Villains made that plan much harder, but nonetheless he had to do his part and take down as many as he could.
- Near the fountain – Shigaraki -
Aizawa was sure an impressive hero, but he was out of his depth. It infuriated Tomura that such violence was acceptable. It was infuriating that society found that violence acceptable. Kurogiri showed up next to him.
"Bad news. A student escaped," the portal man stated. Fury filled Tomura. That was a colossal failure. If he wasn't the ticket out of this little scenario Kurogiri would be dead. It wasn't uncommon to sacrifice a pawn or two, but he couldn't risk sacrificing the queen.
"Our time frame has been accelerated. Nomu kill him," Tomura commanded pointing to Aizawa. The hulking creature with an exposed brain and a beak face moved. It had been dormant behind Tomura this whole time. It was his trump card to kill All Might. "Kurogiri, if you weren't so important for our exit strategy I'd kill you myself!" Tomura raged.
"I'm sorry, Shigaraki-san, there was this student that had more than one quirk. He was powerful too," Kurogiri apologized.
"More than one quirk?! How's that possible I thought Master was the only one like that!" Tomura shouted seeing a green blast in the courtyard.
- Back to Izuku -
He had just dropped off Asui and Mineta. "Uraraka, Sato, keep them safe. I'm going to go help Aizawa-sensei!" Before anyone could protest Midoriya was off. He rocketed over to Aizawa just in time to see the hulking creature move. It was fast. Almost too fast for him to react. Aizawa tried to defend himself, but the creature pulled Aizawa to him. Midoriya had just made it in time to let loose a massive green blast.
It was an 75% blast and it hurt. The hulking creature was caught completely off guard. It was sent flying a few dozen meters away. The fire had burned its body, but the concussive force did nothing.
"What are you doing, Midoriya?!" Aizawa shouted.
"Providing you aid. He's coming again. I'll draw his fire you see if you can strangle that thing," Izuku stated earning a nod from Aizawa. It was a pretty good plan for only a split second amount of info.
The hulking beast charged headlong at Izuku. He reached out aiming to intercept the fist thrown. His pads made contact with the creature activating Force Nullification. He nearly retched on the spot, but held fast. The beast's speed and power had been rendered useless. Izuku surged power in his other hand and put a palm on the beast's chest. Another 75% explosion was let loose. The beast careened across the courtyard smashing into a building. Izuku immediately released his Force Nullification and determined that was all he could use.
The portal villain and the hand villain had joined the fray. The portal villain would prove to be the harder of the two to deal with. Aizawa couldn't turn off his quirk, but could turn off the hand guy's quirk. The hand villain had rushed Aizawa while the portal villain was keeping Izuku busy.
Izuku was counting and dodging the portals. It looked like he could open 10 portals simultaneously. He also had the power to decide which way the portal 'faced'. Izuku had been using his telekinetic attacks to determined which portals lead where. He was also trying to expand his telekinetic sensory to include the portals.
Aizawa was handling the hand villain just fine. If not overwhelming him fairly easily.
Midoriya had added explodo-bullets to his assault on the portal villain. Even if he managed to redirect the bullet, it was rendered harmless due Izuku's armor and minor resistance he had. He was still winning just denting and hurting the portal villain with every successful explodo-bullet and psychic bullet.
The hand villain shouted, "Kurogiri, some help over here! This guys a handful!"
"I must apologize Shigaraki, but this twerp is holding my attention completely. He's too powerful to give him any chances," Kurogiri stated taking another bullet to his chest.
"Nomu!" Shigaraki shouted. The hulking beast known as Nomu was blindly fast. It was playing with them before. A hand print had been cauterized into Nomu's chest. Clearly, Izuku could damage it with hot enough flames, but those explosions only reached that temperature at basically point-blank range. And shaping the blast took too much time.
All of Kurogiri's portal closed and Nomu was on Izuku. He must have pissed off the beast. "Oh shit," Izuku whispered before the beast punched him. Its fist was so large it extended from his mouth to chest.
Midoriya could feel himself rag doll. His jaw and chest bone had been crushed by the hit. Thankfully, his quirk was his saving grace or at least his new one. Izuku's jaw bone snapped into place. He felt the pain again. His chest bone mended and became whole again. He was out of breath, but alive. The metal on his chest had been crushed by the impact. The soreness subsided and his body was back to peak shape. His newest quirk was Super Regeneration. Didn't stop any of the pain from the healing that ensued, but definitely could prevent fatal wounds. For once his power storage had been empty. Super regeneration must have taken from that first. This was due to a conflict with Momo's quirk. He hadn't learned how to use it and its storage component.
A hand was on his chest. He had closed his eyes due to the pain. He looked up to see Uraraka. "Midoriya are you okay?!" she shouted bringing him back. He sat up making her jump. His vision zoomed in, Aizawa was not holding his own.
"Come on, let's go!" He jumped to his feet and pulled her with him. "I'll tank the beast. I need to you stop it! He's super strong so be ready for that! If you can float him he'll be out for the count!" Izuku stated touching his face and fully clasping his hand on her. He blasted off taking both of them with.
Tomura had taken a back seat watching Nomu. Aizawa was trying his best, but Nomu was just pummeling him. This delighted Tomura greatly. That's when he spotted the green-haired student. The student was rocketing towards them. He had someone else in tow. At this point, he wanted to kill the student personally.
He was about to move when ice suddenly crept up his leg. The man looked around to spot a white-haired kid with ice and frost emanating from his right side. Kurogiri was the next one to get a surprise attack. A blonde hair kid had gotten the drop on him, "Use your portal even once and I'll blow you to kingdom come."
Shit! These kids cornered us! Tomura thought in annoyance. "Nomu, get frosty," Tomura commanded pointing to the white-haired kid. Just as Nomu bolted at the white-haired kid the green one intercepted him. Nomu dodged the regular blast and punched the green-haired kid.
The green-haired kid skid across the ground. His arms had been broken protecting himself. Bones and blood was visible around him. Then much to Tomura dismay the super regeneration that Nomu had kicked on for the kid. He winced as the bones sunk back into his skin. "Oh come on! I call hax on that. What did you do copy his quirk?!" Tomura shouted.
That's when the blonde spoke up, "Damn right, villain, whatever power you have will be his to use if you touch him." The blonde was laughing evilly at his own comment.
"That's so unfair for a quirk like to be on your side. That's not allowed by the rules! You can't have more than one god tier power at play on the field at once!" Tomura was delirious.
The pain was blinding, but Izuku grit his teeth and got back up. Uraraka was near to Nomu. Todoroki was trying to slow down the beast by freezing him. The beast's regeneration was faster than the frostbite. Todoroki was at the end of his rope. If he'd just use his flame he could take down that monster! Izuku cursed the white-haired teen.
Knowing the plan, the green-haired teen shot into action. "Uraraka, this is your chance don't miss it!" She said blasting past her.
Ochako was torn. She had to act but never before had so much pressure been on her. Izuku's plan was great and if it worked they could win the fight. But she didn't know if she could do it. He was relying on her. That's when Izuku shouted to her about giving her a chance. Before she knew it her legs were running and her mind was racing. Instinct had taken over and she was determined to see this through to the end.
She held up her hands ready to apply her quirk at a moments notice. Todoroki froze part of the creature giving Izuku a split second opening to blast it.
Its ire was focused back on Izuku. She knew he would have to take another hit. More pain than any of them could imagine. She was close. Uraraka lunged at Nomu hand stretched out. Her pads connected with his lower back. Mission success.
Looking over she saw Izuku on the ground his chest punched in. He was struggling to breath as his bones and muscles moved back into place. Looking to Nomu once more she pushed him up and away. The beast was using up 85% of her capacity just to hold it in the air. If it started to struggle she would have minutes before it broke free.
Kneeling next to Izuku she felt his chest bones move. Whatever quirks were trying to keep him alive was being prevented by his armor. Uraraka pulled and ripped at the rubber under armor. Then all at once the chest armor and rubber layer ripped off. He was breathing again. "Thank you, Uraraka-san," Izuku wheezed.
The villain known as Shigaraki was frozen up to his thighs. Todoroki got over to Izuku, "How is he?"
"He's fine for the most part. I can't believe he took three hits from that monstrosity," Uraraka replied.
"Help me up," Izuku asked straining to stand. Uraraka and Todoroki complied helping him to his feet.
"Todoroki-san get over to Aizawa-sensei. He needs treatment. Uraraka-san how much longer?" Izuku asked pointing a palm at Shigaraki.
Uraraka whispered, "A few minutes at most. He's heavy and stopping even the smallest movements is eating a lot of my potential."
"How was it, Shigaraki? Did you enjoy fighting the students of UA? This was a mistake wasn't it? Because if you had fought All Might there would be no way to you could have beaten him," Izuku mused grinning.
The hand villain slapped the ice and it turned to water. He lunged for Bakugo. Bakugo rose up a palm giving Kurogiri a moment to escape. A portal opened in front of Shigaraki and behind Bakugo. Izuku coated the villains hand in psychic energy. The hand made contact with Katsuki and nothing happened.
"Clever, chosen one," Shigaraki snarled seeing Izuku charge at him, "Nomu get down here!"
The beast convulsed until Uraraka had to break her hold. The situation looked dire at that point.
Then their savior made his appearance. All Might declared, "Fear not for I am here!" There was no classic smile on his face. He was mad. All Might vanished from view. Several villains still standing got KO-ed. He was making his way to them curving a path of justice.
Drakonite227: Will be posting the chapters from Ao3 and trying to catch up somewhat quickly.
